When Jacob Bimblich was seven years old, he saw a man who had a faucet coming out of his stomach and another man filling a bucket from the faucet.   Right then and there he decided what he wanted to be when he grew up.  The setting was a vaudeville stage in a resort outside of Havana, Cuba, the hypnotist performing was supposed to convince only the two volunteers on stage, not the boy in the audience, that the faucet and bucket were real.  His decision was set into motion as Bimblich began reading books he bought with saved-up allowance money; and continued as a hobby and party icebreaker.  Once he immigrated to New York, alone at the age of 16, he worked to support himself throughout high school and college where he majored in psychology.  After college, he continued his study of hypnosis by attending every workshop and seminar that was available.
